Julio Rodríguez's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went 4-for-5 at the plate in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rangers, collecting a pair of singles, a double, and a go-ahead home run in the contest. The 23-year-old's home run was a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth that would prove to be the eventual game-winner. It has been a disappointing season by Rodriguez's standards and for fantasy managers who drafted him where they did, but his BA (.263) and OBP (.319) are nearing career averages while there hasn't been a significant drop in contact rate or increase in strikeout rate, plus the barrel rate is still 9.6%. So, there's a chance for a strong finish and reason for optimism heading into 2025.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez was able to do some damage at the plate during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It has been a frustrating year for Rodriguez, but he appears to be turning a corner at the plate. On Thursday, Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and scored twice in win over the A's. Rodriguez now has eight hits and five RBI over his last six games. It's still a disappointing season for the superstar outfielder, but at least Rodriguez can finish it on a strong note.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez ended a longstanding power outage in Wednesday's win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays at T-Mobile Park, going deep for the first time since July 20 in the victory. Rodriguez took Rays left-hander Tyler Alexander deep for a two-run home run to put the Mariners up 5-1 in the fifth inning on Wednesday against Tampa Bay. The 23-year-old superstar center fielder has cooled off dramatically after a red-hot July, going 11-for-58 (.190) with five RBI, four runs scored, and zero stolen bases in the month of August. Fantasy managers are hoping he gets further removed from his ankle woes as we enter the stretch run in September.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is back in center field and is hitting second for the Mariners on Friday against the San Francisco Giants and rookie right-hander Hayden Birdsong in the series opener at T-Mobile Park. Rodriguez had been serving exclusively as the designated hitter since returning from a sprained ankle, and this will be his first start in center field since July 21 due to a high-ankle sprain. Victor Robles is dealing with a hip injury and is out, but he is likely to see less playing time now that J-Rod is healthy enough to play defense. Fantasy managers can only hope that the 23-year-old Rodriguez can get going to close out the year after a down year offensively. Since his return from the injured list on Aug. 11, he's gone 8-for-36 (.222) with two doubles, an RBI and 10 strikeouts in nine games played. J-Rod hasn't faced Birdsong in his career.

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said that outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is back up to top running speed and has a chance to return to center field during the team's next homestand from Aug. 23-28. Rodriguez, who missed almost three weeks with a right-ankle sprain, has been working exclusively as the designated hitter since coming off the injured list on Aug. 11. Servais said the M's considered playing Rodriguez in center field this week against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but they decided against it in part due to how fast the Dodger Stadium outfield grass plays. It's been a disappointing season overall for the Dominican star outfielder, and he's hit .258 (8-for-31) with no home runs, two doubles, an RBI and eight strikeouts in eight games since returning from his ankle sprain. J-Rod has only 11 homers, 38 RBI and 18 steals in 108 games after posting a 30/30 campaign in 2023 with 103 RBI.
